Real findings.
Real price tags.

Every flag below came from an actual commercial inspection. These aren't hypotheticals — they're the line items that renegotiated purchase prices.

Active Seam Separation

Water infiltration confirmed via moisture scan — 340 sq ft affected

Left unaddressed through one winter, seam separation typically doubles in affected area and begins compromising the roof deck substrate.

Undersized Electrical Service

Tenant buildout for any technology-intensive user will immediately trigger utility upgrade requirements. Budget accordingly in LOI negotiations.

$18.4M acquisition
“Inspect's report on 1250 Avenue of the Americas found $340,000 in HVAC deferred maintenance the seller had not disclosed. We used it to renegotiate $280,000 off the purchase price. The inspection paid for itself 140 times over.”

12-building portfolio
“I inherited a 12-building portfolio and needed to know where every dollar of deferred maintenance was hiding. Inspect delivered a prioritized CapEx schedule that became the foundation of our 5-year capital plan. The board approved it without a single revision.”

85,000 SF lease transaction
“Our tenant was requiring electrical upgrades as a lease condition. Inspect documented the panel deficiencies so precisely that our contractor could bid directly from the report. We had three competitive bids in hand before the LOI expired.”
